Investigation of continence, sexual- and bowel function after radical surgery for bladder cancer


ABSTRACT: Background and study aims Bladder cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. If the cancer has spread particularly aggressively or keeps coming back after initial treatment, a radical cystectomy may be required. A radical cystectomy is an operation where the entire bladder is removed, as well as nearby organs that may contain cancer cells, such as the prostate and vas deferens (tubes that transport sperm) in men, and the uterus and ovaries in women. Although total removal of the bladder is an effective treatment against the cancer, patients often experience long-term side effects from the surgery. One of the most pronounced after effects are problems with functional problems, namely sexual problems and urinary incontinence. Another common problem following a radical cystectomy is difficulties with bowel movements, such as difficulty passing stools or needing to go urgently. The aim of this study is to look at defecation (rectal function) in patients before and after their radical cystectomy surgery. Who can participate? Adults suffering from bladder cancer, with a planned radical cystectomy. What does the study involve? Before the planned surgery, participants are asked to complete questionnaires regarding their sexual function and continence. Additionally, pressure measurements in the rectum are taken so that rectal function can be determined. Twelve months after the patients have had their radical cystectomy, the questionnaires and function tests are repeated to find out whether the results have changed.
